About Carrie The Musical...
Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.

Vocal Audition Information
- Please prepare 30-60 seconds (16-32 bars) of a CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL THEATER SONG, preferably in the style of the show. Choose a song that will best represent your storytelling, vocal ability, and heartfelt expression.
- Prior to auditions, please submit an instrumental track of the song of your choice. A Dropbox link will be available in The Carrie Canvas Portal, approx. 1 week before auditions. IF you are able to edit your track down to the cut you will be singing, please do so. IF NOT, simply upload the full track and make a note of your preferred start and end times. Please title your track with your name and the name of the song, for example: "John Doe - Lost In The Wilderness". You can give us the time stamps for your track when you sign in if it is not already edited.
- Your song should ideally be something post-1970, and closer to pop/rock than "Golden Age". Animated movie musicals without stage adaptations are discouraged.
Dance Audition information
- Dress appropriately in form fitting clothing such as a tshirt or tank that is not oversized and joggers, or spandex capris that are also not oversized and dance shoes such as jazz shoes, character shoes if you are comfortable in them( not the first time), or non flat soled tennis shoes. You will have time to change before your vocal audition

About the Studio Series...The Studio Series provides performance opportunities that are generally targeted towards specific age groups. Studio Series productions may contain a limited number of roles. As such, not everyone may be cast. Smaller cast sizes allow for an experience that places a particular focus on developing participants' skills and abilities in greater depth as well-rounded performers and storytellers. With a stronger focus towards artistry and storytelling, the production designs and performance venues of these productions will vary to allow for flexible staging, creative concepts, and audience experiences.
Our Creative Team members bring with them substantial experiences in educational and professional theatre that have made them masters of their respective creative disciplines. These Teacher-Artists are adept at designing and facilitating a nurturing, yet rigorous experience to challenge performers to achieve their personal best. Our goal is to create an environment where each individual feels safe to learn, grow, risk and have fun while engaging with this art form in meaningful ways that elevate their understanding of the craft, themselves and others as people and artists, and the world around them.
